Convert Your Springboard Icons to Retina!

As you all know, Apple has introduced retina display with four times as many pixels on the same screen size in the iPhone 4. Many app developers have already converted their apps and icons to support retina display, but others might have never converted them at all. Now with the help of Cydia tweaks, you can do it yourself!

STEP 1: You will need those Cydia programs for free by tapping into Cydia from your Springboard and touch on Search then install the following apps: iRetiner, MobileTerminal, and Erica Utilities.

This shows that the apps are converting to retina display. Once you are done, on the bottom of the screen there should be two options telling you whether to respring or not. Press y to respring. You are now finished!

In conclusion, the iRetiner does improve the icons a lot. I have tried it myself and I see a huge improvement, even on the blurry icons! This is a a neat trick, but when you get new apps, you need to repeat this process. Even though that is a pain, look on the bright side, your icons look so detailed!
